Jyllingevej footbridge

The project:

The bridge is a light-weight corten-steel trough footbridge with a total length of 200 meters and a main span of 40 meters across Jyllingevej in Rødovre, Denmark. Due to its low weight-to-span ratio, the structure is susceptible to human-induced vibrations. As such, the structure is designed with Tuned Mass Dampers for increased pedestrian comfort.

The participants:

Vestvolden footbridge across Jyllingevej is a competition winner made by a consortium lead by Danpro/Persolit with Bystrup Architects and MOE and Krabbenhøft & Ingolfsson as engineering consultants.

Our role:

Detail design of the steel construction.

Time frame:

The bridge was originally scheduled for inauguration in summer 2015, but has been postponed.
